Submitting arcade scores - original PCB but with addon boards
Just wanted to gauge community opinion on using addon boards.
I've recently purchased a Stern Turtles PCB - I'm going to be buying an add-on board for it:
Which will allow me to play 8 different Stern games off the original Turtles board.
What does everyone think about using one of these and submitting to say the original Anteater track using this addon board? My information is that the Stern boards are all the same, just different data on the ROMs - so I could just burn new ROMs, but that would still put them on a board that was manufactured as Turtles - so it might get DQ'ed either way.
DKF allow scores set on original PCB but do make a note if a high score save kit or remix is on it.
And without opening the debate again, we get scores from some arcades that don't even open the machine.
Surely if there is full filming of the board, and full disclosure the score could go in and if anyone at a later date can prove these addon boards make a difference it would be really easy to remove the scores from the database.
Thoughts?
